Chapter 116 Encounter is not a holy intention
Ling Yuechan had just hidden behind the yellow poplar tree. Through the cracks in the leaves, she saw Feng Yuqi appear on the edge of the pomegranate tree. The black casual robe was embroidered with a very light dragon pattern with silk thread of the same color, and a dragon-shaped jade pendant hung around the waist. The green color seemed to ooze water.
Obviously, he is not very conspicuous. In the sunset, the long young emperor is as beautiful as a fairy. In addition, Ling Yuechan was obsessed with it. Even for a moment, she forgot the identity of the person in front of her, and there was only the silhouette of the jade tree in her eyes. For the first time, she also understood that in addition to power, fame and fortune, it made her heart flutter.
However, the young emperor in front of him carefully stretched out his hand with pity, and his slender fingers gently stroked a Lingxiao flower. Yes, it's not a pomegranate flower, but a blooming flower!
Ling Yuechan suddenly woke up. This man is the emperor. If it is not this identity, he can also be regarded as her brother-in-law. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help thinking angrily: You like her so much! Do you like it so much that even a flower is so pitiful? But he vaguely felt that there was something wrong. When he turned his head slightly, he saw the same doubt in Bihe's eyes.
She finally understood what the problem was. She has lived in the palace for a while, but elsewhere, she has never seen Lingxiao planted. If it is in Phoenix, it is the season when Lingxiao flowers are growing best and red recently. If the emperor loves Lingxiao because of Lingxiao, why doesn't he plant Lingxiao widely in the palace? Why do you show your love next to this thin and almost indistinguishable vine? If she hadn't recognized the appearance of Lingxiaohua, I'm afraid she would have mistakenly thought that the emperor loved pomegranate flowers.
At this moment, Feng Yuqi suddenly turned his head. Ling Yuechan was shocked and thought that she had been found and was hesitating to go out immediately. But he found that he was talking to the internal prison around him.
"Have the people sent this time come back?" There seemed to be a trace of expectation on Feng Yuqi's face.
Liu Quan slightly swerked his back and lowered his head. There was no fear in his quiet and respectful face, but quietly replied, "I'm back. The room has already been empty, and there is no trace at all. I also asked Lord Ling, saying that a mother and daughter had lived there a few years ago, but it was just the orphans and widows he adopted. And they have been away for a long time, and Lord Ling doesn't know where they have gone. There are no other people nearby. I only asked a few families a little far away, and only people vaguely remember that there were poor families there. It was not clear who they were and when they moved away.
I have heard this answer many times. In fact, there is no doubt about it, but I can't help showing a trace of disappointment. The eyes looking at Ling Xiaohua are full of sadness and loneliness.
"Your Majesty, I think you'd better not send anyone to go. Although Lord Ling doesn't know our identity, there are always people who inquire about such a thing many years ago and are already suspicious. Feng Yuqi can be said to be taken care of by Liu Quan. What is his mind? In fact, Liu Quan knows in his heart, "I don't understand the big truth. I just know, whether it is or not, you can do it if you like it. Why do you care so much?"
Feng Yuqi thought that Liu Quan knew him, but he didn't know him. What Liu Quan said may be reasonable, but that is an obsession that he has been buried in the bottom of his heart since he was eight years old. How can he let go so easily? He wanted to know if Xiaoer was by his side. If not, he also wanted to know where she was now.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help looking at Ling Xiaohua and calling out softly: "Xiumer."
Ling Yuechan hid not far away. The words of Feng Yuqi and Liu Quan fell into her ears word for word. Although she had no end, she couldn't understand what they were saying at all, but she still listened to them a little. Especially in the end, Feng Yuqi's affectionate call: Xiaoer, made her heart shaken and suspicious.
Originally, she heard what the mysterious man said today and wanted to meet Feng Yuqi here, but she didn't expect to hear such a thing by coincidence. I didn't dare to break out for a moment, and I was very confused. I always thought of something, but I couldn't catch it.
Just as she hesitated, Feng Yuqi had already raised his foot to the Ice Game Palace. "I don't seem to have seen Bing Xin for a long time. Go and see her."
"Miss!" Watching the duck in her hand fly, Bihe was also very regretful, but she also knew that this was definitely not a good time to "memeate" with the emperor, so she pulled Ling Yuechan and did not make her impulsive.
The master and servant returned to the Qiluan Hall. A maid of honor came to ask them where they had gone. They didn't even give them perfunctory in the past, so they entered the inner room.
Bihe told Zhu Lian what happened just now and asked her, "Your mind has always been more lively than me. Do you have any ideas?" Zhu Lian is indeed not steady enough, but Shengsheng's mind is fast and a little clever. Moreover, both of them grew up with Ling Yuechan. They know more about the Ling family than anyone else.
After a while, Zhu Lian said her guess and said carefully, "Don't you think the Lord Ling mentioned by the emperor is our master, right?"
Bi He also frowned, with an indistinguishable color in his eyes. He carefully recalled what he had heard from the emperor and Duke Liu, and analyzed how possible this guess was.
But Ling Yuechan couldn't help it. Her intuition told her that it was very possible. She hurriedly said what she was thinking and asked the two maids to help her find out. If the emperor is talking about his father, then the mother and daughter mentioned by Euke Liu, do you think it will be Lingxiao's mother and daughter? Haven't they always lived in the small yard next to Ling's house? Although even she herself felt ridiculous about this speculation, how could Ling Xiao know the emperor before entering the palace, that's what she thought.
"Speaking of the incredibleness of this matter itself, even if it is possible, since Ling Xiaozhu has now entered the palace, why did the emperor send someone to look for her?" Bihe was also puzzled, but he also felt that it was not impossible. "It seems that the emperor didn't know it at all."
"Yes, it's strange no matter how you look at it. Bihe just said one point, and what you said is that the emperor's expression seems to like Ling Xiaohua very much, and finally called 'Xiao'er'. The emperor is likely to like a woman named 'Xiao'er', but he doesn't look like Ling Xiaozhu. Zhu Lian also said.
Ling Yuechan couldn't think of so many complicated things. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out why, so she said, "No matter what's going on, Ling Xiao's favor is obvious to all. If I deliberately imitate her, it will definitely attract the attention of the emperor." With that, he said confidently, "Slowly, as long as there is a chance, the emperor will definitely like me!"
At this time, Bihe said seriously, "Miss, you're right. If Ling Xiaozhu really met the emperor many years ago, whether she knew it or not, anyway, the emperor probably didn't recognize her now, and the young lady didn't have the opportunity to act. And even if Ling Xiaozhu is not that 'Xiao'er', she can be so favored. It's hard to guarantee that she is not a little similar to that person or for some other reason. In short, it's right for the young lady to imitate her.
Speaking of this, several people were a little excited. They went into the palace and suffered so much along the way, but they lingered until today, and finally saw hope.
Zhu Lian thought of another idea and said, "If our guess is true, then do you think the emperor will give Ling Xiaozhu any tokens? Naturally, this token must not be known to many people, but some of them are her treasures.
"When you said that, I remembered it." Ling Yuechan patted her leg, looked outside the door, and then said, "Do you remember the last time Jiacao was dealt with by Ling Xiao for stealing? That time, Ling Xiao held a plain silver Lingxiao necklace in his hand, saying that it was almost stolen by Jiacao, so he was particularly angry and even sent her to Shen Xingsi.
"When the young lady said this, the maidservant remembered that although the necklace was not valuable, the pendant was a fine Lingxiao flower. Except for that time, I have never seen the little master wear it, but it is really possible to take it so seriously. Zhu Lian spoke more softly and laughed with a little bad intentions. She tentatively said to Ling Yuechan, "Why don't you, miss, find a way to get that chain?"
Ling Yuechan agreed without hesitation, "Whether it's useful or not, take it back first."
So, that night, Ling Yuechan found an opportunity to sneak into Ling Xiao's room. Of course, if it's really so easy for her to succeed, then Erlan and others don't have to work in Qiluantang.
Dang Erlan told Ling Xiao that Ling Yuechan was a little suspicious and seemed to want to enter her inner room, so she decided to see what tricks Yue Chan had this time. Erlan, you didn't disturb her. It's good. Let's take a look.
In this way, Ling Yuechan's plan for "Night Visiting the Sleeping Hall" also went smoothly. She couldn't help sneering at Jiacao. It was so easy to be found out. If she got it, she would definitely not. As for why she did it herself, it was also to prevent it. Once she was found, as Ling Xiao's sister, it was always easy to find an excuse. Now it seems that it's going very well.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Ling Yuechan flashed to the inner room where Ling Xiao'an slept. After entering, she didn't care about anything else. She immediately went to the dresser and found the jewelry box. That silver chain has almost never been worn by Ling Xiao. If it hadn't been for the Jiacao theft, she didn't know that there was such a thing at all. If nothing unexpected happens, she would definitely be in this box.
At this moment, Ling Xiao is guarding outside. She just wants to see what Ling Yuechan's intention is. How can she really do it? Originally, she thought she wanted to put something in her room or do some damage, but she didn't expect that she went straight to the jewelry box purposefully, obviously looking for something from it.
Of course, Ling Xiao can also catch her after she does it, but Ling Xiao doesn't want to do so. It was just rumored that Jiacao could secretly use the medicine concubine as a shield, but if Yue Chan, her own sister, would do such things, it would really be gloomy.
So, even if she was caught on the spot, Ling Yuechan didn't say anything, and Ling Xiao couldn't do anything about her. In this case, it's better to indulge her again.
"Lord, although the moonlight is very good tonight, it's okay to enjoy it in the yard for a while, but it's getting late. You'd better rest earlier." Qingwu said loudly on purpose.
Ling Yuechan naturally heard it. As soon as she opened the box, her hand shook, and the lid closed again and made a low noise. Listening to the sound outside, it was obvious that Ling Xiao and others came back. Although they were very reluctant to hate, they couldn't. If they were found, it would be even more difficult to do it next time.
So, she had to give up and look at the door. Seeing that someone had not approached, she carefully opened the door and quickly walked out, finding a corner outside to hide for the time being.
Ling Xiao knew that she was around, but he didn't know it. He said to Qingwu with doubt, "Anyway, I'm really a little tired today. Let's rest early. It's just that I seemed to faintly hear something in the room. Isn't there a mouse?
Qingwu was surprised and said, "Is there such a thing? Later, the slave and maidservant will take people to clean it up. If there is really a mouse, they will be killed directly when they see it!"
The two of them entered the room, closed the door, and then lit the candlelight. A few words of the master and servant came to the outside, and they could not be heard clearly. However, it seemed that they had not found that someone had just entered.
Ling Yuechan looked around and seemed to have no one, so she tiptoed back to her room. She didn't notice that a dark shadow behind her followed her.
